Butler's Manor is a moated site located in Buckinghamshire, England, representing a form of medieval domestic settlement characteristic of the later medieval period. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been the manorial residence and its associated buildings, a layout typical of middle to upper-ranking medieval households from approximately the 12th to 16th centuries. Moated sites of this type served both defensive and status-marking functions, with the water-filled ditch providing protection and a visible symbol of the householder's social standing and territorial authority. The archaeological earthworks at Butler's Manor remain substantially preserved, offering evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land management in Buckinghamshire.
